Robust seed germination prediction using deep learning and RGB image data

Achieving seed germination quality standards poses a real challenge to seed companies as they are compelled to abide by strict certification rules, while having only partial seed separation solutions at their disposal. This discrepancy results with wasteful disqualification of seed lots holding considerable amounts of good seeds and further translates to financial losses and supply chain insecurity. Here, we present the first-ever generic germination prediction technology that is based on deep learning and RGB image data and facilitates seed classification by seed germinability and usability, two facets of germination fate. We show technology competence to render dozens of disqualified seed lots of seven vegetable crops, representing different genetics and production pipelines, industrially appropriate, and to adequately classify lots by utilizing available crop-level image data, instead of lot-specific data. These achievements constitute a major milestone in the deployment of this technology for industrial seed sorting by germination fate for multiple crops.

Information and communication technology and critical thinking in university students

The 21st century is referred to as the digital age, which places demands not only on the ability to work with information but also on being able to understand them as well as evaluate its relevance. The aim of this paper was to find out how ICT competences affect the individual domains of critical thinking in university students. The sample consisted of 624 university students. The data were collected using the Critical Thinking Disposition Inventory (CTDI) and the Information and Communication Technology Competence (ICTC). The results of the correlation analyses revealed weak to medium relationships among all of the observed domains. The subsequent linear regression models showed that all of the domains of critical thinking were affected by ICT competences. In this context, the most interesting was the effect of ICT competences on open mindedness while the effect on the remaining factors of critical thinking was weaker. Keywords: critical thinking; CTDI; ICTC; information and communication technology; university students

E-Banking Service Quality and Customer Satisfaction: Evidence from Deposit Money Bank in South-South Nigeria

The study examines the connection between Electronic Banking service quality and customer satisfaction.
